FIG. 3.
Time function of DBT desulfurization by resting cells of LSSE8-1 and LSSE8-1-vgb. The reaction was carried out in a 100-ml flask containing 5 ml model oil and 10 ml cell suspension with a cell content of 8.5 mg of cells (dry weight) ml−1. Desulfurization of model oil was carried out in rotary shakers at 200 rpm (a) or 70 rpm (b). ▪, DBT(LSSE8-1); ◂, HBP(LSSE8-1); ▴, DBT(LSSE8-1-vgb); ▾, HBP(LSSE8-1-vgb).
